Red Wings Lost

Famous quotes containing the words red, wings and/or lost:

    The dog-wood breaks white
    The pear-tree has caught
    The apple is a red blaze

    The wild plum-tree is alight.

    His little throat labours with inspiration, every feather
    On throat and breast and wings vibrates with the effluence Divine.
    William Blake (1757–1827)

    I am secretly afraid of animals.... I think it is because of the usness in their eyes, with the underlying not-usness which belies it, and is so tragic a reminder of the lost age when we human beings branched off and left them: left them to eternal inarticulateness and slavery. Why? their eyes seem to ask us.
    Edith Wharton (1862–1937)
